Read the following quote from The Odyssey and then answer the question below. "Do we know . . .the names of these strangers who have come to visit us? Shall I guess right or wrong? - but I cannot help saying what I think. Never yet have I seen either man or woman so like somebody else (indeed when I look at him I hardly know what to think) . . ." ". . . I see the likeness just as you do. His hands and feet are just like . . .; so is his hair, with the shape of his head and the expression of his eyes." Butler, Book IV Who are the speakers of these words, where are they, and about whom are they speaking? King Nestor and his son Pisistratus are the speakers; they're in the palace and are speaking of Telemachus and Mentor. Helen and her maid Phylos are the speakers; they're at the head of the stairs before they descend, and they're speaking of Mentor/Minerva. Menelaus and Helen are the speakers; they're in the hall of their palace, and they're speaking of Telemachus and Mentor/Minerva. Minerva and Jove her father are speaking; they're in Mount Olympus, and they're speaking of the newly arrived Mercury.

Follow the directions (and example) given to create your own sonnet. william shakespeare's sonnet 130 my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, coral is far more red, than her lips red, if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun: if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head: i have seen roses damasked, red and white, but no such roses see i in her cheeks, and in some perfumes is there more delight, than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. i love to hear her speak, yet well i know, that music hath a far more pleasing sound: i grant i never saw a goddess go, my mistress when she walks treads on the ground. and yet by heaven i think my love as rare, as any she belied with false compare. instructions: write fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. use a sonnet rhyme scheme. use the first eight lines to set up your idea (the octave). use the last six lines to conclude your idea (sestet). (variety may be added by including a substitute foot from time to time such as the two anapests in line 3 above.) work in small groups giving each other feedback. reading the sonnet aloud allows you to hear the words and rhythms of the lines. generate questions that will clarify the use of words and forms. for example: was the idea of the sonnet presented in the first eight lines? how was sound used to enhance the meaning of the sonnet?
